Many parents have chosen to forego their child’s pediatric visits during the time of COVID-19 thinking that it is best for their safety.
Unfortunately, in most instances, this is a misguided choice as the best way to keep children protected from health problems and disease is to ensure they are receiving the preventative care they need.
Right now, we wish the COVID vaccine was available for all, but at the same time, some parents are choosing not to immunize their children against many other just as critical diseases.
Without these vital immunizations, it’s quite possible that we could see the return of diseases like diphtheria and polio that once impacted so many lives
At River Valley Pediatrics we follow all the giving safety measures to give our patients the best safety possible.
